HELIDAYS IS COMING HOME

Following a last minute rally led by the Czech Air Force, a Mini-HeliDays event will take place at Weston-super-Mare this year after all, using the Heliport at The Helicopter Museum instead of the traditional sea front venue. Taking place on the weekend of 23rd-24th July, the helicopter line up is expected to include at least two Russian aircraft operated by the Czech Air Force, as well as other fly-in visitors.

If all goes well they will be bringing a Mil Mi-17 assault helicopter and a Mi-24 “Hind” gunship – again another first for the town. A formidable opponent during the Cold War , the Hind is Russia's answer to our own Apache attack helicopter.”

Entry to the Mini-HeliDays will be included at no extra charge in the normal Helicopter Museum admission charges with free entry to Gift Aid Museum Ticket Holders.

Opening hours 10am – 5.30 pm both days. Further information can be found on www.helicoptermuseum.co.uk
